France honored Uma Thurman on Tuesday, proclaiming the "classic and disconcerting beauty" a knight in the Order of Arts and Letters.

"We welcome Uma Thurman, a model-actress, admired throughout the world and especially in our country, France," said Cannes Film Festival Director Gilles Jacob. He presented the award to Thurman on behalf of the country's Culture Ministry.

Thurman's career "would make her the favorite actress of an entire generation," he said.

Jacob evoked her "atypical and bohemian" childhood as the daughter of a renowned Tibet scholar, who was named for a Hindu goddess.

"The public discovered your grace and sensuality," Jacob said, outlining Thurman's acting career that began on a New York stage when she was 16.

Her screen credits include roles in "Dangerous Liaisons," "Pulp Fiction" and the "Kill Bill" films.

Jacob hailed the 35-year-old actress as a "classic and disconcerting beauty," a "femme fatale" and a "dreamy creature" before pinning a medal on her black Christian Dior jacket.

"I'm so flattered and touched by your comments," said Thurman, who was in France to promote her new movie, "The Producers."

She looks fabulous but I know she's had help. Before her come back her eyes were looking very tired. She looks so fresh and vibrant!

She hadn't done anything notable for a few years before "Kill Bill".

Uma actually did some of her best work before Kill Bill but much of it went unseen. try Hysterical Blindness, or Tape or The Golden Bowl. She also made that movie with her x which is okay. She also had her kids. If youve seen Prime you wil see that Uma looks her age but in a good way. She is not the plastic surgery type to me at all.

Black Mamba rocks. Love her.

Ah, well. She's has periods where her movies are a little more low key (or just flop) but I always knew she was around and I always felt like she was still popular.

"Favorite actress of an entire generation"?? Isn't that stretching it a little?

I watched "Hysterical Blindness" on tv and I honestly thought it was a tv movie. I'll be getting "The Golden Bowl" tomorrow, I had never heard of it. She was low key for a few years before "Kill Bill", I noticed becuse I really like her.

I love what you said and totally agree with it, but I'm distracted by your sexy ass avatar.

Thank you.

Isn't it ironic that the sexy creature was once married to the 'favorite actress of an entire generation'?? Hmmmm, maybe that has something to do with my not caring for her?
